Father O'Leary's friendliness to the
Knights of Labor during the strike on

Suffering from drouth in the territory
tributary to San Antonio, Tex, is very
severe. All crops are failure. Milk
and butter are scarce. In Medina county
the cattle are dying so fast their owners
cannot skin them, and though in sections
further west the mortality is not so great,
it is very large. The number of dead and
dying cattle is shown by the hide market
at San Antonio. 1t is usually large and
active market, but now it is overstocked
and prices are dropping hourly.
Sixty men burst into the Jail at York
vile, 5. c., early Tuesday morning and
seized Giles Good, Bailey Bowdle, Prend-
ley Thompson and Nose Lipscom, ne
groes, charged with the murder of John
Lee Good, young white lad, in December
last. Taking the prisoners one mile north
of the village, they hanged them to the
limbs of trees. These men organized a
conspiracy in the fail of 1886, to steal
cotton and to murder, if necessary, to
conceal their crimes, and they killed
young Good. The prisoners were to have
been tried this week.

IN BRIEF, AND TO THE POINT

=
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is u foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food. sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bot
tie. Seventy-five cents. 2

Threshing has not commenced

Some pieces Of late flax yet to cut.
Hunters are not rs plenty this year
rs usual. Game is scarce too.
There was a Sunday School picnic ut
ThOs. Wilson's last Thursday.
A week or two ago some graceless
scamp stole a part of the apples from
Mr.. Sundberg's orchard, and some one
just rs mean visited Mr.. Bass's mellon
patch and stole or plugged tho most of
his MELONS.
1t is to be hoped that they will build
mill in Worthington that will
amount to something, but farmers
don't have much faith in any such en-
terprise while it is all on paper.
Land seekers seem quite plenty of
late. If they would only one-half of
them buy land aud improve it, the
country would settle up fast, but some

DIVERSIFIED FARMING IN
DAKOTA.
ACTUAL FARMERS ARE CULTIYATING
THE FARMS

ACTUAL FARMERS ARE CULTIVATING
THE FARMS.
People are no longer deluded by the
fa]lacy that land may be cropped year
after year by wheat. The best farmers
now let third of their land lie idle
aud summer fak0w it. This has been
found to be successful. An era of solid
prosperity has taken the place of the
inflated article. This is shown by good
frame houses in place Of sod shacks;
barns in place of straw stables; herds
of cattle on the prairies instead of one
continuous plain of waving wheat. In
the matter of stock the farmers are
starting right, most of the herds con.
taiuing u good per cent. of blOOded
stock. Wheat is still the staple and al.
ways will be, but the changes of the
past few years are such that a loss of
crop will not set the country back as it
has at other times. North Dakota W. .
never more prosperous than today. Re-
overing from the first severe shock
and starting on sure foundation,
there will be developed now an agri-
cultural country without an equal on
the globe. Lines Of the st. Paul, Min
neal"lis & Manitoba railway are COW
ering the country in every direction,
and are pushing into the far west.
They are opening up and developing a
country which will ultimately build up
large commercial and manufacturing
centers. A purely agricultural country
depending solely upon the success Of
farming operations, could not possibly
be in il better situation to become pop

In reply to the Lorain correspondent
as to why we don't hold our regular

say: 1st. That it is too remote for the
majority of farmers to attend evening
meetings, being too busy to include
part of the day, as would be necessary
in such a case. I'd. That we intend or
ganizing at least one Alliance in each
township as soon as the necessary
blanks can be obtained from the State
Alliance, and I.orain will be among the
first to receive attention, and q call
will be published the week previous to

THE LANCE CHILDREN.

EDITOR ADvANCE:-We are quite
anxious to hear the next story about
the Lange children. The last two sto-
ries differed 80 widely that they were
quite ludicrous. One says they were
nearly dead from starvation and expo
sure. The next declares they were in
goOdhealth, good flesh and 8 Ood spir-
its. One might almost imagine, from
the latest statement, that they merely
came home on visit, and performed
the journey on foot. and ate raw green
corn for u lunch, washing the same
down with slough water, all from
choice. Well, they are gone again,
and we shall haye a rest. until they
come home on another visit.
READER.
"Reader" certainly cannot charge
the ADVANCE with any lack of enter
prise in giving ''both sides" and about
all the details. We did hope that
some one from the vicinity of Fulda.
who saw the children when they first
arrived and was peasonally cognizant
of their appearance, condition. eto.,
would write US and let US know just
how bad" it all was. So far no one
has done 80. We gave the statement,
of course, as hearsay, and just as we
received it. Then came the other side,
and we gave that.
1t is bad enough, ~ to let them es-
cape twice; (2) to have such a ''time"
as they must haye had on their tramp
of 100 miles, passing around the towns
to avoid capture. and sleeping in hay
stacks at night; (3) to he separated
from the mother when there is cyl
IDENTIFY such distress on both sides.
But what are the facts? The whole
family were on the county and likely
to remain so for years. Some of those
good neighbors, who take so much in
terest in the family, haye been using
them to get money out of the county
also. We are informed that bills were
sent to the county for bringing pack
ages out to Mrs. Lange from Fulda
and Worth!ngton. Every lump of
coal taken to her and all the help rem
dered her by this class Of neighbors
was charged up to the county at high
rates.
The law requires that in cases of this
kind the children shall be sent to the
state school. There is no hardship in
it unless the parties feel it, rs these
are said to. Many mothers would be
glad to have their children thus pro-
vided for.
For years the ADVANCE has con-
tended that it the county supports a
family. the commissioners should take
charge Of the children and secure them
employment and schooling. Before
the law was passed creating the state
public school, we were advocating this,
because we saw the evils of the pauper
system here in Worthington. Parties
who came upon the county would fire.
queDtly move to town to live and turn
their children into the street to annoy,
insult and prey upon their neighbors.
Time and again we have paid the cool
cash out of our pocket in taxes to sup
port children in idleness, who were
stoning our Office and hooting at US on
the street.
